Panel 1: Marie is meeting with her therapist.
Therapist: Part
of the problem here seems to be that you're so afraid I'll bring
up...certain issues...that you're doing the metaphorical equivalent of
sticking your fingers in your ears and going "La la la a la."
Panel 2:
Therapist: So here's a proposition: I won't mention your parents until you do. You won't have to worry about me springing them on you. You can relax, finally, and talk about other things.
Panel 3:
Marie: Like what?
Therapist: How about your violent reaction to harmless Valentine's Day displays? Or your ambivalence towards your friend Casey?
Panel 4:
Therapist: Or both?
Marie [sticks her fingers in her ears]: La la la la la.
Alt-Text: If I were her, I would go with, "BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER BADGER..."
